Deep Roots ft Stefan Kartenberg

It occurred to me, very late in the game, that the description of this event would make a lovely spoken word. Thank you Stefan Kartenberg for this fully mixed instrumental track that is beautiful to work with.

The spoken word is shared as an additional file.

DEEP ROOTS
The World Tree sprouts at the beginning -- new shoots emerging, roots deepening -- at the source of the dark waters, the portal of creation -- IChing (Karcher)

Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you. — Isabel Allende

Like the roots of a tree, our roots connect us to what nurtures and grounds us, providing foundational support for growth and expansion.

What we are rooted to emerges in our dreams. Dreams of people, places and things that form us. The wisdom of elders passed down in liminal narratives.Transcendent dreams that illuminate connections with clarity.

Deep roots are the ancestors. They are with us, carried in our bodies, our beliefs. Our ancestors expand beyond our familial lineage into the lineage of our communities, our nations, our humanity.

Our deepest roots are an ephemeral umbilicus that connect us to the great mothers, Earth and her oceans, her lands, deserts and mountains, streams and lakes, plains and canyons. Our deep roots are dendrites — limbs of extension, expansion and connection that connect us to the universe.

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. …The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it. -- Rumi
